Heh ... you are having fun, aren't you.
You won't find "PL_memory_wrap" in any perl58.dll prior to version 5.8.7. My guess is that Randy has built the ppm using perl 5.8.7 and that, for an L::P::Y that's going to be run on an earlier perl 5.8.x, you need to build L::P::Y with an earlier perl 5.8.x. I could build a ppm using perl 5.8.6 and send you that (if you tell me where to send it).

As for the inability to load Low.dll, I guess that's the message you see after you acknowledge the pop-up complaining about the absence of "PL_memory_wrap" - which would indicate that it's just a consequence of that "PL_memory_wrap" error. (ie, if the "PL_memory_wrap" issue is addressed, I expect that "Low.dll" error will go away.) Other than that - what does the error message tell you that it "Can't find" ? Is pl\bin in your path ?

C:/usr/lib/XSLoader looks like a Cygwin path, rather than the location one would expect for XSLoader in a "native" Windows environment. Are you using the ppm with your Cygwin perl ? Does that work reliably ? My notion is that there could be problems in trying to use "native" Windows binaries in the Cygwin environment - but I've little experience with Cygwin and really don't know.

Cheers,
Rob

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
